Softland has unveiled novaPDF 11.0, a major new release of its PDF creation tool for Windows PCs. The app makes it easy to create PDFs from any printable document using Windows’ own print command, plus offers plugins for major Office apps as well as a host of tools for editing and improving existing PDFs.

Version 11.0 introduces a new plugin for Microsoft Outlook, widens support for more PDF standards, and introduces a new easily accessible Quick Tray Application to the Taskbar.

novaPDF 11.0 sports a fully featured Outlook plugin to generate professional PDFs from emails quickly and with the minimum of fuss.

The new Outlook plugin works in a similar way to existing plugins for other Microsoft apps – once installed, a separate tab appears on the Office ribbon from where users can save PDFs directly rather than going through the print dialogue.

novadPDF 11.0 also further develops its existing Outlook integration tools, with added options for setting a default signature, changing email sensitivity and requesting delivery receipts when sending PDFs.

A new Quick Access Tray application makes it easy to launch the program’s toolkit from the Taskbar Notification area. There are new options for pausing and resuming the PDF printing process, and the PDF printer can now detect – and convert – telephone numbers to hyperlinks in generated PDFs.

Version 11 also supports the creation of additional compliant PDF types, with existing A-1a and A-1b standards updated and now supplemented with options for creating A-2a/A-2b/A-2u- and A-3a/A-3b/A-3u-compliant PDFs.

Other changes include a tweaked Data Entry Wizard for setting document information, and improvements to the real-time printing monitor dashboard, print history with statuses. Users also benefit from updates to the options on offer for customising the appearance of PDF links.

novaPDF 11.0's new Quick Access Tray application makes it easier to access than ever.

Two new printing options have been added that are exclusive to the top-tier Professional edition: N-up page layout options, the ability to print up to 16 pages per sheet and set the page order.

You can download a fully functional trial of novaPDF 11.0 for PCs running Windows 7 or later. Lite, Standard and Professional editions of the software are available, each with perpetual licenses – a clear breakdown of how they differ can be found here.
